couldnt watch the movie past the opening

therefore if your looking for how i feel about the movie i cant say. the acting was so horrible i couldnt watch anymore then the first few minutes which is rare for me. usually ill suck it up but the camera was shaky(i loved the blair watch project but the shakiness was worse then that and not intentionally!!!) so if your willing give it a try or you could go though my garbage to retrieve it for free.

A B movie down to the smallest detail.

B movie in every since of the term, yet somehow still endearing. The crew was literally two people, and it shows. The camera work is very amateurish. Everything is shot crookedly, as if that will somehow mask the cheap camera quality.

The acting is painfully bad. Most of the actors supposedly come from a theater background and have degrees in acting. They should be revoked immediately. The best/funniest character gets killed off early on. The movie drags a little towards the end, trying to surprise! us with twists that aren't necessary. Still somehow, magically, this was kind of funny and likeable. Not worth owning or watching again though. July 7, 2008

The Stitcher

This film was good as well with kids going up to stay for the weekend in The Stitcher's town.
I noticed that the Stitcher ran everywhere when he was out and about attacking people. One of the police officers turned nasty again in this film.
The two people that survived tried to get a boast to a different town but The Stitcher was waiting for them at the end.

I give this film 5 stars. May 27, 2008

Don't waste your money...

OMG!!! What a ridiculous film... after all this hype about what a great film this was supposed to be??? Seriously, how could any objective horror critic or horror fan give this miserable attempt at a horror film five stars??? Poor to bad acting, 100% derivative screenplay, worn out stereo types, unbelievable characters, moderately attractive females for the most part, and utterly ridiculous hicks. Now, Erin is a pretty hot blond, unfortunately, they stereo typed her as a complete moron who never understands anything that is being said by anybody; again, a worn out stereo type that is completely over done to the point of being unbelievable.

The scenes of violence are pretty lame in that they never really show you anything that is actually happening to the victims; they just show the stitcher dude swinging a weapon in the air, then a victim with fake blood where their injuries are supposed to be, so while the overall production quality is pretty good, it is also lacking any creative cinematography in terms of action scenes. The editor has tried to compensate with slow motion and various special effects, but they never really succeed in getting anybody's blood flowing.

OK... The deputy sheriff was a pretty good actor... but this film leaves you with the distinct impression that it was made buy a group of people who've never once ventured outside of the city limits of a large city and have some pretty paranoid and ridiculously unrealistic ideas about people living in small towns. The "country hicks" were completely over acted with extremely feeble efforts by the "actors" to sound like hillbillies. Newsflash: people who live outside the city limits do not shred their clothes with a razor blade and smear axle grease all over themselves. They also don't paint some of their teeth black to make themselves look snaggle-toothed or wear cheep plastic buck teeth. They got so carried away with the hick stereo type that they have all of the residents of the small town acting, literally, as if they were severely retarded... and covered with axle grease...

The concept, of a person who stitches buttons to their skin has a lot of potential, but this film never really manages to make this character believable. The sets didn't really make sense either; way too upscale for the basic concept that the film appears to be trying to get across. For example, how did these severely retarded hicks manage to build an upscale marina at the local lake? Clearly promoted as a terrifying horror film, and not as a comedy, the spin now seems to be that the bad acting was supposed to be funny, but look at the product description; "Inspired by true events... ...terror that is beyond their imagination," etc. The only possible explanations I can come up with for the five star reviews is that these reviewers are either associated with the film, or they're giving it an extra four stars because the producer and director were females. Sorry, but this film only proves that women are just as capable of making a miserably bad horror films as their male counterparts. This film looks like something that a group of junior high students might come up with for their drama class. Don't waste your money on this pathetic attempt at making a horror film!

looks really bad

I haven't seen it but the previews look like it was done with a $400 camcorder. I'm all for watching B movies in hope of finding a gem, but I absolutely am not willing to watch, bad actors filmed sloppilly on a crappy camera. Just go to youtube and watch the full trailer, make sure you watch the full length trailer that really shows what the movie will look like, and I'm sure you will agree. I would be willing to bet that the possitive reviews were somehow related to the the cast or crew, otherwise it just doesn't make sense. November 11, 2007
